#refresh my memory

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

You know, if I did a Fury Road AU, you'd think Kara would be Furiosa, because she's got the brute strength behind her, and Lena would be one of the wives, with her princess in a tower motif going on.

But really, if you look harder, it'd be the opposite.

Kara would be one of Immortan Lex's wives, surrounded by her circle of sisters and fellow wives. Lena would be the outlier, the trusted lieutenant who isn't suitable for the harem but kept close for her loyalty and intellect.

That is, until Lena and Kara connect and start conspiring to escape. Lena's birth mother would have been one of the Vuvalini, to whom Lena runs in search of green and belonging. Kara would simply stick with her wherever she went, desperate to be free and be close to Lena.

But when Immortan Lex comes riding for them, they soon learn it's time to make their stand.

EP. 0 Down the Rabbit Hole

Warnings: it's dmc, based on the new Netflix series, reader insert fic, not proofread

Notes: I have like six drafts for Mark and major exams in a few days but I really, really need to get this out my system. Will fix this tomorrow or after exams. Add. note: Gaku of two days later here, hehehe I feel like a 13 year old that writes in wattpad again.

It happened during the night in Vatican City.

Birds cawed faintly outside, as the lull of the night comes to its peak. Statues of saints and historical figures lined up inside the building, serene and undisturbed by outside forces— all while ropes came down from a height and comes down a group of armed men.

The halls are silent, save for the occasional marching of Pontifical Swiss Guards on watch, spears in hand as they round the area. They fail to notice the intruders slipping past as their cameras get hacked and bombs get placed.

A single explosion started it all, as the way to the underground vaults was compromised. Guards take on their weapons, spears, which proved powerless against the men's bullets, ending with them all dead.

Display cases were broken and artifacts that looked like they have monetary value were seized as the thieves raided the vault. A single, ominous sword was left untouched due to its rusty and worn down state, in favor of the gold and rubies adorning the items around it.

"Well, this is awkward."

Immediately, the men went up with their arms pointed at the source of the voice, and out comes a man with a rabbit head, dressed formally and sauntering with poise. "I didn't realized the heist had such a specific dress code."

"And here I came in my Easter best."

The rabbit man grinned, his brooch, a single blue shard, glowed amidst the darkness.

Despite their initial confusion, the terrorists took aim at the creature before them. But their target easily lifted their hands in surrender, assuring that there's no need for violence while also sarcastically describing their nationality.

"Americans. Anything that doesn't fit your narrow understanding, you shoot, you bomb, or burn without hesitation."

The bunny man chuckled wryly, passing through the group with ease and heading towards the lone, intact glass case at the end of the room. "And look where it's gotten you."

"Four so-called soldiers of fortune stealing common stones for a mere 2.5 million," Instantly, the newcomer was surrounded, but the rabbit man paid no mind, opting to focus on the objective in front of him. The poor attempt of stanchions to prevent people from approaching the sword was easily slapped away. "—when there's something right in front of you that is beyond earthly value."

"How did you—?!"

"I was the one who offered it." The rabbit man cuts them off, pushing too hard on the glass to break it open. With a split of a moment, the sword was drawn and the corrosion that once covered its blade broke off, revealing its true form. Glowing ominously purple, the weapon thrummed with energy on the hands of its wielder.

"The Force Edge." Of course, the alarms went off the moment it was out of its fragile prison. "Sword of the demon knight, Sparda." Guards are heard from outside the vault, marching towards the source of alarm. "Ironic, isn't it?" The rabbit man smirked, sending fear coursing through the thieves. "That such a holy place would house the most powerful weapon of Hell?"

"Then again, Hell, as you call it, has always been the true heart of human religion." The rabbit man sneered at his co-conspirators. "You can curb the worst of your savageries only through collective fear and hatred of another world."

"My world."

At last, those men who surround him finally had enough, threatening him to give them their reward or the inevitable will happen. The rabbit man assured them that they'll receive what they are owed as he slices off the guy's neck with the sword. A glint appears in his eyes as the head rolls off. With a broad grin, the rabbit man parried the barrage of bullets shot at him, with it ricocheting off the walls and breaking the glass cases around them, realizing that they're being hit by their own bullets, they stopped, only to give the rabbit man a small opening to strike. With the strength that exceeds human capabilities, one of the men was thrown to a pillar by an elbow jab, breaking his insides as he bled to death. It was all for themselves as chaos ensued. Those who remain alive shot recklessly at nothing before they were either sliced or bludgeoned to death. The rabbit man giggled as he delivered the final blow, digging the sword down someone's throat as the Swiss Guards surround him, blanching at the grotesque sight.

"Here we stand together on the threshold of a new age," The bloodied white rabbit held out a detonator, grinning at the fearful guards. "The age of the Demon."

"This world is about to become much, much larger."

"Well, not for you." The rabbit man pressed the button, activating the bombs planted around the building, burying the humans alive as pillars fell onto them. Fire engulfed everything on sight, with the lone white rabbit standing at the center of it all, grinning maniacally.

Stiles looked up at him sharply. “What are you—”

“Taking your pain.”

Stiles tried to wiggle out of his hold, but Derek held him still as if he was a disobedient pup.

“Don’t.”

“Or what?”

“Or I’m not gonna hold back.”

“And what happens then?”

“I’m gonna drive back and kill those guys.”

Oh.

Oh.

Derek’s gaze dripped to Stiles’ chest. “Your heart is racing.”

Stiles fought the urge to cover it. “You can hear it?”

But Derek wasn’t listening. His lips stretched into a bitter smirk. “Are you afraid? You knew I was a monster. What happened now?”

“Derek—”

“Red eyes are fine but nothing more, is that it?”

The ache in his voice sounded hundreds of years old. Stiles couldn’t take it. Physically couldn’t.

“I’m not afraid of you,” he snapped, pulling Derek out of his weird trance. “Dude, you saved me twice—”

“You haven’t seen enough to be afraid.”

Stiles threw his hands. “Then show me!”

Suddenly, Derek’s face morphed. His jaw stretched in a long shape with his teeth lengthening and sharpening into full-on fangs as he snarled.

Stiles yelped and took a step back, but there was nowhere to go. He was trapped between Derek and the Camaro.

In retrospect, he didn’t know how he would’ve reacted if no one interrupted them. However, right at that moment, another car turned on the road. Its headlights lit them both, casting sharp shadows across Derek’s distorted face.

Panic flooded Derek’s eyes.

Stiles didn’t think.

He grabbed Derek and pulled him in, shoving his face into his own neck.

Derek froze, his hands gripping Stiles’ shirt at the sides. Breathing heavily, Stiles raked his fingers through his hair. He stilled as they encountered the sharp pointy ears and god, Derek was so fucking stupid.

Scary monsters don’t have cute pointy ears. Well, aside from Dracula… And orcs. Whatever, it didn’t matter because there was one thing scary monsters didn’t do for certain: save the lives of measly weak humans. Fucking twice!

Stiles closed his eyes and rested his cheek against Derek’s head. The car rolled merrily past them in no particular hurry. It drove on the snake-like road in complete silence before disappearing behind a hill on another turn.

Stiles took a deep breath, held it in, and released it. Derek’s warmth covered him like a blanket, soothing and safe. The guy seemed to have his hands glued to Stiles’ sides. Was he afraid to let go?

Well, he certainly didn’t look like he wanted to come out yet.

Stiles fought down a smile as Derek’s shaky breathing rolled down his neck. He blinked into the darkness, caressing Derek’s hair while giving him time to collect himself. In front of him, the sea was full of glistening ink.

The full moon shined from above.

Stiles stared at it.

He stared until his eyes dried so much that he had to blink.

Slowly, carefully, he cupped Derek’s face and brought it out of hiding. The fangs were gone. In fact, his face was normal again, if grim.

Well, not normal. The fangs and the ears and whatever Derek had were already normal, just unfamiliar to Stiles.

“Maybe, this isn’t the right place,” Stiles huffed a laugh. He hoped to coax a smile out of Derek but failed. “Hey. I’m still not afraid.”

Derek’s gaze pinned him to place as if he was looking at an alien. Stiles sighed. He looked to the side, away from his penetrating gaze, and swallowed.

“Listen, I’ve been afraid. When my mom died, I was afraid. Or when the cops came and told me my dad was shot. Hell, like, half an hour ago? When I thought I was going to die?” he shrugged. “You saved my life twice now—”

“Too many times,” Derek grunted.

“— so… Dude, not the point! All I’m saying is that you — even with all your superpowers — you, big guy, are Winnie the Fucking Pooh compared to the shit I’ve seen. Heart of gold, the eye of the tiger.”

“That’s not—”

“And! Don’t get me started on your face! That shit was so fucking cool! The way you transformed—”

“Shifted.”

“— and you grew fangs and… and skin and ears? Do you realize that we can just take the entire science of biology and fucking… throw it in the trash because what?!”

The corner of Derek’s mouth lifted.

“The whole world as I knew it — and I’ve got an A in physics, thanks for asking — had just turned upside down.” Stiles made a big explosion gesture with his hands. “Gone. Dead. Everything is beautiful, and nothing is the same. So, no, Derek, I haven’t seen enough of you. Please, for the love of god, show me more.”

Hold on everyone I'm gonna be sick thinking about this

The fact the Drifter doesn't even feel like they belong in the Origin System is honestly painful. The fact they feel like everyone likes the Operator more because it's originally their timeline, and they've just grown to already accept that. The fact they feel actually at home in the fucking year of 1999.

The fact they feel like they were essentially being used when being sent back to 1999, but they end up staying and feeling more at home in the year despite being sent there like an errand boy. Feeling at home in a place you've barely been in for too long compared to everywhere else you've been for the rest of your life? That must feel wild, y'know? And exciting, but also terrifying.

They just have never felt like they belonged anywhere, basically, but when being sent off on a mission by the Lotus they end up actually feeling like the place they ended up felt like home. People finally care about them, and even love them. Friendships were formed and maybe even a true and genuine heartfelt relationship. Sure, they're still surrounded by daily threats like the Scaldra and Techrot, but there's people who actively care about their well-being now.

Imagine it, no longer actually being alone for most of your life? Having people who worry about you, for the first time in who knows how many years? Getting genuine human (as 'human' as the protoframes get) interaction instead of being called around to do jobs? To simply just exist in such a place? It must feel like a huge breath of fresh air

It's so human and it's so real. You finally begin to heal from the trauma that's been a part of essentially most- if not all your life before arriving. It's such a stark contrast to how things are in the Origin System. I wouldn't want to leave either.

Yeah I like the 1999 update a normal amount (lying)

What to read before The Veilguard drops

Yes people, we have homework. In case you missed it, or need to refresh that memory because hey, it's been a while, here's a quick short list of what to (re)read in preparation for this new entry in the series.

Books:

From Tevinter Nights: Down among the dead men (introduces Emmrich and Manfred), The wigmaker job (introduces Lucanis), The streets of Minrathous (introduces Neve).

The Last Flight, last novel released somewhere around DA: Inquisition. Takes the action to Weisshaupt, Grey Wardens HQ, and jumps between that present and the past explaining how the Griffons became extinct during the Fourth Blight. Will explain where Davrin's griffon came from.

Comics:

Magekiller. It's pretty introductory overall, set around Inquisition but it introduces "magekillers" as a job some people do. While in Tevinter Nights Lucanis is introduced as an Antivan Crow seems he's decided to change careers so it can't hurt to learn a bit about it.

The missing. Gives us Varric and Scout Harding already working together, and introduces us to Neve.

Short Stories:

Posted a while back in the BioWare page for Dragon Age day as crumbs to feast on while we waited, and waited, and waited..I recommend reading all of them simply because most people may have missed them and they add to lore and characters that while not among the new companions may still make an appearance and be relevant in Veilguard.

Of course I recommend reading EVERYTHING if possible, it all adds more layers and flavor and we know Solas is in the details, we can't miss a thing, but I think if you're short on time this counts as light reading enough to know where you'll land when Dragon Age: The Veilguard finally arrives.

heyyy! :) so about mychael’s music taste… I’m surprised!? I was mostly expecting him to listen to laufey or something! Orr that recent song going around the internet, “harpy hare.” i was pleasantly surprised to out he listens to upbeat music.. especially kpop!? LOL i’m in shambles he’s so silly. I’m veryyy curious… can he dance well? or do those super duper intricate kpop dance moves? 😭

Context for his music taste here and here! 🎵🎵🎵

A lot of people expected him to like slow music hahaha! Of course with you he'd sit and enjoy it but on his own I just feel like he'd lose interest if it was anything less flashy and energetic.

I've also answered about his dancing here! Short answer: he sucks.

dude. my life fucking rules. feathered velociraptor shleich figurine for $2 at the op shop. captain of one of my favourite ferries complimented my shirt TWICE (and we are now introduced!). new friend waved me over to sit next to her in a lecture. found a way to make my pony collection even more enjoyable. sky was so beautiful it was a crazy pale blue and there were cirrus clouds catching the sun. the ocean looked like molten green glass. I'm going swimming in the sea and having lunch with a few friends in a weeks time. I've earned 500 dollars this week just from my art which is a milestone I didn't expect to hit without joining a company. I'm not feeling as fatigued as usual. it rained in the morning which was really lovely. I thought I was going to be super late for uni but I made it right on time. I'm kind of in love with the world today
